I received this digital ARC book from NetGalley and Lawrence King Publishing in exchange for an unbiased review.
This is a wonderful book filled with inspiration to start your own flower garden. The illustrations provide a beautiful depiction of some of the varieties of plant featured. It is well organized by plant listing important information to consider when growing by seed. The flowers are sorted into groups which help you determine where they might be best suited. There is a section about cottage flowers and another about exotic and edible flowers. Aside from providing sowing and growing instructions this book also gives suggestions on how to use your flowers.
It is true that once you attempt to grow a plant from seed it becomes an obsession. After so many failed attempts, there isn’t anything more exciting than seeing a sprout emerge from the soil! A wonderful addition to any gardener’s library.
Compost by Clare Foster is, as the title would lead you to believe, about compost.
It is suitable for the beginner to experienced gardener. Covers the biological processes involved to provide a framework for understanding the goings on in your compost and what to aim for; also addresses the falsely hyped 'hot compost' method as being the be-all and end-all of composting.
